Making an 1890s Up- Cycling Sweater
29. Oktober 2022
Like every costumer, vintage lover, steampunk and sewing person interested in Victorian and Edwardian Fashion I came across the infamous cycling sweater from the MET collection. That obviously resulted in a „I NEED THAT“ reaction which let to „I want to make that“.
I chose the most simple, budget friendly and fastest way of transforming a thrifted jumper into my own version fullfilling my (non authentic) history bounding needs.
Here’s a tutorial video:
